Welcome to our blog where we will guide you on how to connect your primary decoder to a secondary decoder. This skill is essential for individuals and families who have more than one television but want to watch the same content simultaneously.
Step 1: Purchase Your Equipment
Before beginning the process, you must ensure that you have acquired all the necessary components. This includes the primary and secondary decoder, two splitter cables (one from the dish and one from the primary decoder), an HDMI cable, and a power source.
Step 2: Connect The Decoder To The Television
First, unbox your primary decoder and connect it to your television using an HDMI cable. Ensure that your TV is on the correct HDMI input. Once the connection is successful, switch on your primary decoder, and ensure that it is activated and showing a clear, crisp image with sound.
Step 3: Connect The Secondary Decoder
Connect the splitter cable from the satellite dish to the back of the primary decoder's LNB-in port. This cable will supply the signal to both the primary and the secondary decoder.
Take the second splitter cable and connect it to the LNB-out port of the primary decoder. The other end of this cable should then be connected to the LNB-in port of the secondary decoder.
Step 4: Activate Dual View
Go to your primary decoder's menu and navigate to the "settings" menu option. Select "dual view," and the primary decoder will automatically recognise the connected secondary decoder.
Additional Tips
- Ensure that both decoders are on the correct channel and are receiving a strong signal from your satellite dish.
- If the secondary decoder is connected to a different TV, ensure that the display settings are appropriately adjusted to match the resolution of the TV.
- If you experience any issues, consult your decoder's user manual for further guidance.
With these simple steps, you can connect your primary decoder to a secondary decoder and enjoy the content from the comfort of multiple rooms in your home. We hope that this guide was informative and helpful.
